My Patterns, Quilting, You've Got a Point!

Meet Corn Maze, from You’ve Got a Point!

Hi, everyone! Today I’m kicking off a series of posts about the quilts in my upcoming book, You’ve Got a Point! (You can find the introduction post HERE.)

Hello everyone, and welcome to Week 7 of the #swoonforjardin QAL and the soft, golden, French-countryside-inspired light at the end of the tunnel for us! This week, we’re wrapping up the assembly of our quilt tops and showing them off to everyone on Instagram. I couldn’t believe how quickly this quilt top came together once the blocks were all completed! I guess that’s one of the perks of having those big ol’ blocks. I’d trimmed each group of blocks as we constructed them over the course of  ...
